-Canopy mode.\\\\
-Besides using the default value, that will create a horizontally homogeneous plant canopy that extends over the total horizontal extension of the model domain, the user may add code to the user interface (see [#3.5.1 3.5.1]) subroutine {{{user_init_plant_canopy}}} to allow further canopy modes.\\\\
-The setting of '''canopy_mode''' becomes only active, if [#plant_canopy plant_canopy] has been set ''.T.'' and a non-zero [#drag_coefficient drag_coefficient] has been defined.\\\\

-Average heat flux that is prescribed at the top of the plant canopy.\\\\
-If [#plant_canopy plant_canopy] is set ''.T.'', the user can prescribe a heat flux at the top of the plant canopy.
-It is assumed that solar radiation penetrates the canopy and warms the foliage which, in turn, warms the air in contact with it.\\\\
-'''Note:'''\\
-Instead of using the value prescribed by [#surface_heatflux surface_heatflux], the near surface heat flux is determined from an exponential function that is dependent on the cumulative leaf_area_index (Shaw and Schumann (1992, Boundary Layer Meteorol., 61, 47-64)).\\\\

-Switch for the plant canopy model.\\\\
-If '''plant_canopy''' is set ''.T.'', the plant canopy model of Watanabe (2004, BLM 112, 307-341) is used.\\
-The impact of a plant canopy on a turbulent flow is considered by an additional drag term in the momentum equations and an additional sink term in the prognostic equation for the subgrid-scale TKE. These additional terms depend on the leaf drag coefficient (see [#drag_coefficient drag_coefficient]), and the leaf area density (see [#lad_surface lad_surface], [#lad_vertical_gradient lad_vertical_gradient], [#lad_vertical_gradient_level lad_vertical_gradient_level]). The top boundary of the plant canopy is determined by the parameter [#pch_index pch_index]. For all heights equal or larger than zw(k=pch_index), the leaf area density is 0 (i.e. there is no canopy at these heights!).\\
-By default, a horizontally homogeneous plant canopy is prescribed, if  '''plant_canopy''' is set ''.T.''. However, the user can define other types of plant canopies (see [#canopy_mode canopy_mode]).\\\\
-If '''plant_canopy''' and  [#passive_scalar passive_scalar] are set ''.T.'', the canopy acts as an additional scalar source or sink, respectively. The source/sink strength depends on the scalar concentration at the leaf surface, which generally does not vary with time in PALM, and which can be specified with parameter [#leaf_surface_concentration leaf_surface_concentration].\\\\
-Additional heating by the plant canopy is taken into account, if the default value of parameter [#cthf cthf] is altered in the parameter file. In that case, the value of [#surface_heatflux surface_heatflux] specified in the parameter file is not used in the model. Instead, the near-surface heat flux is derived from an exponential function that depends on the cumulative leaf area index.\\\\
-'''plant_canopy''' = ''.T.'' is only allowed with a non-zero [#drag_coefficient drag_coefficient].\\\\
-'''Attention:''' Starting at '''revision 1485''', steering parameter '''plant_canopy''' no longer exists. This FORTRAN {{{LOGICAL}}} is now automatically set to ''.TRUE.'' if the NAMELIST [../canpar# canopy_par] is included in the parameter file ({{{_p3d}}}).
